Day Trip From Rome to Assisi

About this experience

Your private driver will pick you up from your hotel in Rome in a private air-conditioned vehicle and you will make a 2-hour drive to Assisi, a UNESCO-listed town in the beautiful hills of Italy’s Umbria region. Assisi has historical significance, and it is most famous as the birthplace of Italy’s patron saint, St Francis of Assisi. When you arrive, visit the 13th-century Basilica di San Francesco, a World Heritage site and one of the world’s biggest pilgrimage destinations, where Catholics come to see St Francis’ tomb. Then head to a local restaurant for an authentic Italian meal. After lunch, continue your Assisi tour at the Basilica of St Clare (Basilica di Santa Chiara), named for St Clare, who was a pupil of St Francis’, followed by the Basilica of St Mary of the Angels (Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli), located at the bottom of the hill where Assisi sits. Your Welcome driver will transfer you back to your accommodation in Rome.
